Fly the Team Iceshanty Flag! Iceshanty Proshop
I was a tournament director for several years in a bass club and worked hard on getting prizes for other places. It is nice to have extra places to give out during your tournament. It gives other people the opportunity to win something. It needs to be determined how many teams you have fishing to determine placement. It seems about one additional place for every 6 or 7 teams. (3places for 20 teams) To give out an auger for first place is a great prize. Like someone said earlier, a lot of fishermen have augers, but some don't and this new auger could be a nice upgrade. I would not worry about someone selling or trading the prizes. It is just nice for someone to get something for a good day of fishing. I would believe many people and organizations would be willing to donate prizes or gift certificates for prizes, esp when it is for students. I would recommend doing this as early as possible d/t some companies need to get approval from corporate. Hope this helps. Good luck in your tournament. Nez
Why would you care if the winner used,sold, or threw it in the garbage? You gave it to them it makes no sense that it would matter to you at all what they do with it. Just my 2cents.
